The {@code ViewModel} annotated with {@link HiltViewModel} will be available for creation by * the {@link dagger.hilt.android.lifecycle.HiltViewModelFactory} and can be retrieved by default in * an {@code Activity} or {@code Fragment} annotated with {@link * dagger.hilt.android.AndroidEntryPoint}. The {@code HiltViewModel} containing a constructor * annotated with {@link javax.inject.Inject} will have its dependencies defined in the constructor * parameters injected by Dagger's Hilt. * *

Example: * *

 * @HiltViewModel
 * public class DonutViewModel extends ViewModel {
 *     @Inject
 *     public DonutViewModel(SavedStateHandle handle, RecipeRepository repository) {
 *         // ...
 *     }
 * }
 * 
* *
 * @AndroidEntryPoint
 * public class CookingActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
 *     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 *         DonutViewModel vm = new ViewModelProvider(this).get(DonutViewModel.class);
 *     }
 * }
 * 
* *

Exactly one constructor in the {@code ViewModel} must be annotated with {@code Inject}. * *

Only dependencies available in the {@link dagger.hilt.android.components.ViewModelComponent} * can be injected into the {@code ViewModel}. * *

* * @see dagger.hilt.android.components.ViewModelComponent */ @Target(ElementType.TYPE) @Retention(RetentionPolicy.CLASS) @GeneratesRootInput public @interface HiltViewModel {}
